Italian Sausage Soup
This soup has become a Christmas Tradition for my family. My two Brothers and I would always have our friends over on Christmas night after all of the Family festivities. My Mother would always make us all a big pot of this soup and it would be gone in 10 minutes! Our friends looked forward to this every year!

Recipe Notes
You can cook the sausage whole and slice thin or you can cook it loose, its your preference. My Mom cooks her pasta in the soup, but I think it takes up too much of the good juice so I always keep separate. Serve with a nice crusty piece of bread to soak up the juice!
